Abstract

The accessibility of the sources, materials, and activities on the internet are part of the functioning interaction in the 21st century. There are plenty of barriers in the internet environment for people with dyslexia. The literacy portal alleviates the problems that people with reading disabilities face. Its tools and materials support discovery, understanding, and usage of the internet, as well as ICT resources to improve their effective usage in everyday life. The experiences gathered while creating the portal are recorded here for their usage in the methods proposed in further chapters.
